Well, we know there's at least one person who occasions this group who can read it.

Until he comes along I get to play with it.

The first character *might* be 授. The second looks like 奈 or kana for "na." Since the thing is in Chinese the "na" isn't likely. Or could it be 授衣 (Ninth month in lunar calendar)?

It's in Chinese? Well dog my cats. That's an extra twist.



三帰五... Hmm... There's lots of 三X五Y expressions, but I don't find one beginning 三帰. 三帰 itself means something like "accept the three treasures (the teachings of one of the Buddhas)." I think the next character is real easy; I wonder why I can't read it?

Three treasures sounds like it would fit. When it comes to five of something, the first thing that pops into my mind are the five precepts (sila). Could the kanji be 戒? As in 五戒？


安名 are easy characters, I wonder what they mean?

Yeah, even I got the 名, but I didn't twig to the other one being 安. I looked 安名 in the Buddhism section of Jim's dictionary and voila! It's "dharma name," which makes sense since that is exactly what 恵秀 is.


恵秀 are kindly spelt
out for us in romaji.

Then as you may have noticed it starts getting even harder.
？八十一代御弦沙門--Guess which four characters are not wild guesses.
美門羅府--the last one almost certainly wrong.
？？万伝？--I should have quit while I was ahe... err, not so far behind.
杏山周... I'm tempted to make a 春 out of the last one, but that's pretty wild.

Anyway, it's taken me so long to type this up, there are probably a bunch of correct readings posted by now.

This is a big step forward. Thanks.
